Powell joins the ranks of Reynolds, Banks, Hamilton and others at the forefront of science fiction." SF Book Reviews "It is an evil born of war. It is the end of all things." Four hundred years ago, Ed and Alice Rico threw themselves through a mysterious portal on the London Underground, hunting for Ed's lost brother--Alice's husband--Verne. Now, starship captain Katherine Abdulov embarks on a desperate race against ruthless rival captain--and her former lover--Victor Luciano, to try and earn back her family's trust. Tomorrow, all their lives will be thrown together by disaster, as an ancient evil stirs among the stars, threatening the survival of all life.
